title: [Comparison of classic and digital pelvimetry for measuring the medial transverse diameter in 50 female patients].
abstract: The medial transverse diameter (MTD) has been measured in 50 female patients using both CT and classical pelvimetry. Comparison between these two matched series allows to confirm (p less than 0.001) that the measurement obtained by CT is on the average smaller than that obtained by classical pelvimetry. The relative mean deviation is 3%, the means differ by 4 mm. Management of obstetrical patients taking into account measurements obtained by pelvimetry (Magnin indices) should then be modified depending on the results obtained by this new technique of scanopelvimetry, that will soon become the technique of reference.
